Chiampi, was already a Megan’s Law registrant, stemming from a previous conviction in Superior Court in Paterson for endangering the welfare of a child. As a result, he is subject to community supervision for life.

Last March, as part of Chiampi’s community supervision, officers of the N.J. Division of Parole visited his residence in Totowa. The officers discovered 63 disks that contained images and videos depicting child sexual abuse, including material that involved prepubescent minors.

Chiampi was arrested last May and held without bail.

The disks contained approximately 300 videos and 20,000 images of child pornography, the majority of them depicting prepubescent children, according to the complaint. The complaint included a graphic description of three of the images showing young girls in explicitly sexual situations.

Chiampi is scheduled to be sentenced on June 3. He faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, and a maximum potential penalty of 20 years and a $250,000 fine.

Fishman credited the N.J. State Parole Board, under the direction of Chairman James T. Plousis, and special agents of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Aaron T. Ford in Newark, with the investigation leading to Monday’s guilty plea.
